Join us for a celebration of the life of Iolo Morganwg, the great Welsh bard, as we mark 200 years since his death.
Celebrated writer Gareth Thomas (author of “I, Iolo”) will give a lively talk on Iolo’s controversial life and legacy - and there will be an exhibition about Iolo’s local connections, including his frequent visits to Pontardawe, and his role in co-founding the Welsh Unitarian denomination at Gellionnen Chapel in 1802.
